llnueU yesterday InoTllHS DIT tue
Methodist conference, and the commit
tee on temperance brought in reSolu-
tions that were compromise between
those of Monday and their substitutes.
They were unanimously adopted by the
conference, and are as follows:
STILL OPPOSE HIGH LICENCES.
The ravages of intemperance still continue,
resulting i'll fearful crimes and threatening,
by its support to auarchiSm. the destruction
of the republic, and, by Sabbath Dissertation
and other immoralities, the success of the
church; we ought, dis men of God, TO say
what we will do concerning it. We declare
III favor of the utter extinction of the drink
custom of society, and will do our utmost 10
destroy the vice.
We regard constitutional prohibition the
greatest moral and political question before
the American people We in no measure ac-
cept license, high or low, as a solution, and
we insist upon the submission of the ques-
ton to popular vote of the people, indie,
pendent of all partisan associations. and
that we withhold our support from all par
ties that refuse TO do this.
That the history of high license in other
states shows that it fails to accomplish the
end sought, and has tendency TO raise Il
barrier against prohibition and has ten
dency TO protect the liquor traffic.
We rejoice i'll the introduction of scientific
temperance in our public schools, and would
recommend il TO the higher institutions.

THE CONFERENCE DIVISION.
The question of dividing the confer
ence was the cause of a good deal of
earnest discussion. Rev. j. F. Chaffee
was in favor of division, and said the
conference was so large now it was i'm
possible for it to ever meet in the small
towns, as they have not facilities to en-
terrain the members. Another serious
consideration to be thought of was the
excessive railroad fare, some members
having to travel over 500 miles at + cents
a mile. Dr.. Wagner opposed division.
Rev. William Copp favored it, as did
Rev. Mr.. LathrOp. DR.. Mckinley
brought i'll substitute resolution. ask
ing the general conference to give the
state the authority to divide should it so
desire. DIR. Marshall was against di-
vision, and said the tendency of the
church was to go in small bodies,
and its general usefulness was
thereby impaired. Bishop FoSs then ad-
dressed the meeting. He wanted to
know whether division would not abate
interestin the institution. He said there
was danger of waking anew and EXTEND
ing the rivalry between the two cities,
which has not been kept out of the
church. One conference would ObViate
this and present an appearance of con-
sOlidation. Finally, he believed division
was very unwise. There was more talk
ing of desultOry nature. Then a
motion was made to lay on the table, but
it was lost. DR.. McKinley's substitute
was adopted with this addendum: That
committee, consisting of the presiding
elder and layman from each district,
be appointed to submit plan for divi-
sion to the next conference.
